lyrics
I used to be a bird in a cage
Now I just fly, fly, fly
People told me to keep my feet on the ground
I said, no, I want to live up in the sky, sky, sky
When the flowers are in bloom, you can zoom from one to another,
Live up in the trees and be free, free, free
All I ever ask of you, is you be you and I'll be me, me, me
Magic Purple Banana
Goes down to your shoulders and waits
Now the time will come, someday when
I will roam around in your shoes, shoes, shoes
I will feel the weight you feel
The gravity of this earth gives you the blues, blues, blues
But, then I will shed your skin
And release you from the bounds of this world, world, world
Break out of that old cocoon, spread your wings
Open your mouth and show that pearl, pearl, pearl
